Monster Game Cliff

He did a lot to help himself this evening. Certainly helped to have guys pushing to feed him the rock.
Played like he meant it. Fun to watch when cliff is having fun out there. Let's keep it up!
He was spectacular tonight. Him and Simpson won this thing.
He was an animal on the boards. He attacked the ball like he wanted it.
Where has this been?!
We need way more of this from Cliff.

He was very active tonight and his teammates had eyes for him when he was in prime position for a flush.
Of his makes, how many were dunks and 1 footers?
Unless both feet are in the paint at the block, he shouldn't be passed the ball. That experiment of treating him like a traditional post player must end.

Give Clifford the Big Red Knight the ball in the right location and he will do damage!
14 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks. Awesome game. Teammates need to look for him more.
Whether HS, college, or the pros, in whatever sport it is, when athletes are having fun, they're often just able to get to a higher level of effort, in part because their bodies aren't so tense. It's much more fun to watch as a fan than watching athletes that don't seem to care about anything but getting paid.
Cliff was in beast mode today. We need him to keep it up.
Everyone was grinning tonight. Even Gavin! More tonight than any other game. We’ve gotta play like this. Can’t get too tense the way we shoot. Loose and happy has to be mantra on offense.

He went up in the middle of the game for a damn layup, got no foul and pouted. I screamed dunk the f-ing ball Cliff! Be physical. He never tried another layup and was dunking the ball so hard I damn near knocked out the people next to me pumping fists wit excitement. That's how a grown man plays. We need to see him aggressive. Very happy for Cliff tonight.
He played with incredible passion and played pretty smart too, not overdoing it on D trying to block shots (although he got 5), but instead focusing more on boards, getting 15 and he made a few shots, too, especially that one at the end of regulation that seemed to roll around forever before dropping in. Still would like to know what happened on his breakaway dunk after our steal (never heard the explanation).
Simpson was fouled. He then fell into the opponent in front of him. Guess something had to be called there with guys falling because of contact.
ok, that sounds familiar - and now I'm remembering that we were wondering if that might've been called as a flagrant on them to keep us from scoring
The T got Cliff going. Maybe feeling the coach had his back gave him confidence. I said in game thread we needed to feed Cliff post tech and it worked
This is the Cliff we need to see every game. Even if he can't convert on other offensive moves, he should be able to bully his way to a double double EVERY NIGHT with effort and athleticism
